Not one-time event

The Illinois Corporate Whistleblower Center believes that in many cases a woman who has been victimized in the workplace have not told anyone about the sexual assault for fear of losing their job and possible future employment opportunities-and ruining personal and professional relationships. Based on their experience, sexual assault happens even when the woman says no, and frequently it is not a one-time event. Even more insulting frequently women like this frequently lose their job-or they get fired. The Illinois Corporate Whistleblower Center fears-the majority of victims who have been forced to endure a sexual assault at work never say anything about it or they conceal their ordeal out of fear it could ruin their life.
